In the third episode of season 2, I spoke with Dr. Michael Salata, Division Chief of Sports Medicine and Director of the Joint Preservation and Cartilage Restoration Center at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center and Associate Team Physician for The Cleveland Browns. We talked about his career in medicine, how sports medicine and orthopedic surgery have evolved over time, and ways in which current and future healthcare professionals can improve health outcomes and create innovative methods of healthcare delivery as we transition into a new normal from the COVID-19 pandemic.
